The Shoot

[kfson]

lap sao then bong sao. sink qi to dantian and clench anus. focus all your qi to shenzhong point then to baihui then to laogong. it will stop a shoot every time

OK, that's a good one. You see something similar in Taiji.

Shoot is a verb.

The technique is called a Shot.

You shoot for the legs. You defend a shot.

[David Jamieson]

But sprawl will bring you down to ground fighting.

not always.

and if it does, so what.

do you honestly think you can pre-decide what will happen in conflict?

Newsflash, you cannot.

train for all ranges and if your style doesn't address them all, find a way to do that yourself.

Some can. It is called reading your opponent's mind.

Some? Like who? Who are these people that are magical like unicorns?

While we can read our opponents body, with enough training, we certianly can't read his intent or mind.

Ontario crew: jees, it happens everyday and is common knowledge.

I am open to seeing your evidence of "mind reading".

But the ideal Shoot also ties up or neutralizes the arms.

Nah.

If he's that high up on me...I'll go for a throw.

Ok, so...

you take a shot and shoot your shot, without catching a knee shot, or an elbow shot as you shoot for the leg shot. Once you've shot your shoot and you get the shot, you start landing the big shots until the other guy is totally shot.

That about right?

[Yum Cha]

LOL, I can read a couple of minds right now....

[kfson]

I am open to seeing your evidence of "mind reading".

Buddhists do it.
Daoists do it.
Hindis do it.
Rosicrucians do it.
Freemasons do it.
OTO members do it.
Indian "medicine men" do it.

And I'm sure they all do "IT" also, or at least their parents did..

i dont think about reading minds. but sometimes you can read a persons physical intentions. there are numerous factors involved though. ones perception and ablility to process the information quicly being paramount.

ive done it more than once and been right.

a 'gut' feeling, or what have you.
